second chance was set up for success. That rescue later reached out for help with some of the dogs in their care, and as we all know, teamwork makes the dream work, so MAGSR didn't think twice before stepping forward to assist. Rosco is clearly a lover. With his deep, loving eyes, he simply draws you into his soul. A huge leaner, once he's comfortable with his people, he'll shower you with attention and kisses - sometimes without even asking first! This stunning boy has moderate-energy and is an absolute gentleman. Because of his tolerant, loyal, and friendly personality, this gentle guy does well with kids and female dogs. An affectionate boy, he needs to gain a few pounds - more to love! Rosco is still working on his leash manners, but with his curious and smart nature, this may not be a super challenging task. Not only will training help him develop a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him strengthen his good boy skills. Like any new dog, Rosco will thrive with structure, routine, leadership, and clear expectations; this will help him adjust to the expectations of his forever family. With a little time and patience, he's going to be the perfect companion. Unfortunately, Rosco is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had he been kept up to date with preventatives. Knowing that Rosco needed to move forward with treatment, the rescue began the first steps in this process and our team already has plans for next steps. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but we know that handsome little Rosco is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Rosco's care. Your donation will not only help Rosco, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs to the MAGSR family. Rosco will need to take it easy over the next couple of months during treatment. However, this will help him take the time to decompress and adjust to his forever family. If Rosco sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this boy today.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
